A Performance

Cinnamon Shops (2014), directed by Robert Drobniuch, is a performance based on the technique of shadow theater. The stage is dark and empty – the actor playing Joseph lights his face with a powerful flashlight. In the back, one can see a paper curtain with moving phantom figures summoned by Joseph from his memory. His story is accompanied by live music (clarinet). The paper world created by Joseph consists of long past histories. The script, including passages from Schulz’s fiction and letters, focuses on two motifs: fascination with the Father and mythologization of childhood. The performance is not a complete, finished vision of Schulz’s universe, but a patchwork of fragments, glimpses, and images.

A Performance

Distribution of music via recordings and broadcasts has been a lively activity for well over a century. The value for music is immense, but this is a symbiotic process, where the musical demands spawned the invention of electronic amplifiers, microphones, speakers, and onward to all modern electronics. The original aim was to make a faithful recording of a performance. In reality, this is impossible because the conditions for listening are always different from the original performance. The musical data and reproduction are modified by every aspect of the electronics, and the way in which sound engineers and marketing companies handle the music. There may be advantages in that performance errors can be corrected, balance between instruments adjusted, or the pop music autotune which corrects the pitch. This chapter considers many aspects of current and future sound processing.

A Performance

In this article we describe a new approach to performing musical works that use Yamaha DX7-based synthesis. We also present an implementation of this approach in a performance system for Madonna of Winter and Spring by Jonathan Harvey. The Integra Project, ‘A European Composition and Performance Environment for Sharing Live Music Technologies’ (a three year co-operation agreement part financed by the European Commission, ref. 2005-849), is introduced as framework for reducing the difficulties with modernising and preserving works that use live electronics.
